Do you ever get stuck in a smoothie rut? I’ve been stuck in one lately, and I’ve been making the same ‘ole smoothie for a couple of weeks. So here are some new vegan smoothie recipes that are worth trying this week to break up the monotony!

Pina Colada Green Smoothie

Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar-Free

If you like piña colada’s and getting caught in the… then you will love this smoothie. It tastes just like piña colada, and it’s healthy. I wouldn’t mind hanging out with one of these on the beach.

Vegan & Gluten Free Vanilla Oat Protein Smoothie

Vegan, Gluten Free (if you use gluten-free oats), Dairy Free, Sugar-Free

This vanilla oat protein smoothie will have your belly feeling full and happy all morning (or afternoon) long. Equally important, I’m going to soak my gluten-free oats first by adding water to them the night before and letting them sit overnight; this helps with digestion and making sure that you get all the nutrients.

Banana Mango Smoothie

Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar-Free

Granted, I’m bananas about bananas! Putting them into smoothies is a great way to avoid having to add any other sweeteners. I usually eat two bananas a day. I was probably a monkey in past life. This vegan smoothie recipe is super simple, especially because it’s only five ingredients.

Green Goddess Smoothie

Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar-Free, Nut Free

Of course, who doesn’t want to be a goddess? This one sounds so refreshing for those hot summer days. I’ll probably sub the matcha powder for green tea because its what I already have on hand. I love the avocado addition. It adds good fats (which makes you feel pleasantly full), and it makes smoothies smooth and creamy. Nom nom.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar-Free

Chocolate and peanut butter – need I say more! Not to mention it’s only five ingredients! This one will be sure to fool your pickiest eater into believing that they are eating (or slurping) something on something not so healthy.

Triple Berry Kiwi Smoothie

Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar-Free, Nut Free

Yaaasss another five ingredient smoothie! I love that this one has loads of vitamin C courtesy of the berries, kiwi, and orange juice. Of course, any smoothie with berries is likely going to be amazing. Regardless, I love this one!

Green Detox Smoothie

Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar-Free, Nut Free

Have you ever had a couple (or few days) of not eating so clean and not feel very with it? Yeah, I haven’t either. Just kidding. It’s important to realize that life happens to us all. Whenever I have those moments, this green detox smoothie has always been a great way to hit the restart button.

All in all, I know, there are hundreds (thousands?) of vegan smoothie recipes out there. Even so, I love the options this list provides. Coupled with a 20-minute activity (even a simple walk) make these a fantastic way to start the day.
